To prevent the rusting of steel, a variety of finishing materials has been applied. When steel is exposed to an extreme chloride environment, however, the thermal performance and aging of the finishing materials cause the material to lose its rust protective performance. In this study, an accelerated corrosion test was performed on five different finishing materials for steel, to determine the critical values of corrosion. As the result, the critical value of corrosion was found with no coat between 0.58mg/d㎡ and 0.73mg/d㎡, with urethane coat between 7.89mg/d㎡~8.46mg/d㎡, with one-layered red lead coat between 57.95mg/d㎡ and 69.48mg/d㎡, and with staleness201 between 80.73mg/d㎡ and 89.35mg/d㎡.

Adhesive joining technique is considered as one of hot issues in developing advanced composite structures. The designer should be familiar with important guidelines of fundamental principles and ideas underlying the design and application of adhesive joints for a correct joint design. This study deals with the following characteristics of adhesive joining techniques: (1) design parameters the affect the performance of joining, (2) fundamental principles and design methods of joining, (3) adhesive selection, (4) surface pre-treatment of the adherand, and (6) test methods. The results would be used to predict the performance of adhesive joints subjected to a thermal aging.

In this study, the mechanical and flame-retardant properties of ethylene-propylene-diene-termonomer (EPDM) based rubber compounds and various other environmentally friendly inorganic flame retardants were investigated. Alumina trihydrate (ATH) and magnesium hydroxide (MDH) were used as inorganic flame retardants. The mechanical properties after thermal oxidation aging and the flame-retardant properties of the EPDM compounds were measured using a moving die rheometer, a universal testing machine, a compression set, and a UL 94 V flammability test. We focused on how the properties were affected by the type and amount of flame retardants. The results demonstrated that the optimal mechanical and flame-retardant V-0 grade properties were obtained at an ATH content of 200 phr.

A safety-related equipment for the nuclear power plant should be needed an equipment qualification. In this paper, the approach, methods, philosophies, and procedures for qualifying the large squirrel-cage induction electric pump motors for use in ULCHIN 5, 6 Nuclear Power Plants were presented. The method of qualification is a combination of experimental test and analytic method, which is composed of radiation exposure test, seismic simulation test, thermal aging analysis for non-metallic materials, and seismic analysis. The results showed that the motor performed its safety function with no failure mechanism under postulated service conditions.

In this study, the stator form-winding sample coils based on silicone resin and polyimide were made for fault prediction and reliability estimation on the C-Class(200$\^{C}$ ) insulation system of traction motors. The complex accelerative degradation was periodically performed during 10 cycles, which was composed of thermal stress, fast rising surge voltage, vibration, water immersion and overvoltage applying. After aging of 10 cycles, the condition diagnosis test such as insulation resistance '||'&'||' polarization index, capacitance '||'&'||' dielectric loss and partial discharge properties were investigated in the temperature range of 20 ∼ 160$\^{C}$. Relationship among condition diagnosis tests was analyzed to find a dominative degradation factor and an insulation state at end-life point.

Rapidly solidified Mg-Al-Si base alloys containing Ca were obtained by melt spinning. The melt-spun ribbons were aged isochronally or isothermally to investigate age hardening phenomena and microstructural change according to the alloy composition. Age hardening occurred after aging at $200^{\circ}C$ for 1h mainly due to the precipitation of $Al_2Ca$ and $Mg_2Ca$, which have coherent interfaces with the matrix. With the increase of Ca content, the hardness values of the alloy ribbons were increased. Among the alloys, Mg-10Al-2 Si-3Ca alloy showed a good thermal stability at elevated temperature.

In this paper, we investigated the effect of solar cell breakage on maximum output power of PV module. The test result using artificial light source didn't give any change in output power in case of crack near electrical ribbon. Also, there was a reduction in output power in case of increasing of crack area far from electrical ribbon. But, this experiment is under artificial light source test method. So, when such a PV module is outdoor for a long time, there would be problems on electrical output power and durability because of thermal aging phenomenon of solar cell breakage.

The effects of UV and ozone on the weathershed materials for 5 polymer insulators were investigated. This study was carried by material characterizations such as surface microstructure, thermal property, chemical structure and contact angle. The aged specimens are compared with new ones. In case of UV, the chalking of fillers and cracking of surface were increased with the increase of UV radiation time. In case of ozone, aged specimens are not different from new ones. From this study, It can be concluded that UV has more effect on the surface properties of weathershed materials than ozone.

In this paper, stator form-winding sample coils based on silicone resin and polyimide were made for fault prediction and reliability estimation on the 200 Class insulation system of traction motors. The complex accelerative degradation was performed by periods during 10 cycles, which was composed of thermal stress, fast rising surge voltage, vibration, water immersion and overvoltage applying. After aging of 10 cycles, condition diagnosis test such as insulation resistance & polarization index, capacitance & dielectric loss and partial discharge properties were investigated in the temperature range of 20∼160$^{\circ}C$. Relationship among condition diagnosis test was analyzed to find an dominative degradation factor and an insulation state at end-life point.

The effect of accelerated weathering(UV) on three type of ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM) composite used for higher voltage insulator were investigated by weather-emoter. For weatherability of EPDM composite, surface resistance, dielectric breakdown strength, change of contact angle, surface composition were measured according to UV accelerated weathering time. From the resort of the measurement of surface resistivity, contact angle of EPDM composite decreased and showed chalking and cracking phenomenon when UV weathweing time was for 1500 h and 2000 h. The analysis of surface atomic composition indicated that surface aluminiu(Al) content was detected due to chalking phenomenon after 1500 h of UV weathering, Oxygen content of all composite increased due to the oxidation.
